Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      BTW we have have fully functioning Coffee machine at the venue with real coffee.
      One of the members does the graphics for Cibo.

      The Torrens Parade Ground will be the parking venue for the day (come and go as you please).
      Once parked on grounds vehicles are unable to move due to Adelaide City Council rules.

        Right, so presumably cars can be removed from Elder Park after 3:30pm?

        Do you mean there will be (free?) parking for owners' other vehicles in the Torrens Parade Ground on the day?

          Yes please advise leaving time as this will determine if I put my car in or just drop through for a hour or so.

              You will be allowed to leave after 3.30pm - cars will be escorted on and off grounds due to the sprinkler system ACC has in place.

              Yes, free parking at TPG as I understand.

              Saturday at AIR - VWs will be in the local Drag series with Rod Penrose's Drag car, The Shrapnel and the Gringos from Victoria.

              7 days to go until Volksfest weekend starts in Adelaide


              This year’s Volksfest Dinner will be held in the Courtyard at the Maid of Auckland Hotel, 926 South Road Edwardstown. The food is very good, prices are reasonable and we can order meals and drinks from the bar. The Courtyard is a private room so it will provide the perfect venue. Parking, and the entrance to the Courtyard are at the rear, accessible from Angus Avenue. The date is Friday, November 22nd, and we’ll get underway at 7pm.

              Members or Volkswagen enthusiasts wishing to join us should ring Tony on 0417 819 773, or send an email to tony.thor@bigpond.com

              Saturday night, November 23rd, will see the 4, 6, Rotary and Turbo Nationals at Adelaide International Raceway, Port Wakefield Road, Virginia. Well known VW drag racers including Rod Penrose, Andrew Ermel and David O’Connor will be racing and their cars will be on display at Volksfest 2013 the next day.

              Qualifying starts in the morning, with racing getting underway late afternoon. Mid-afternoon will be a great time to get there.

              We are currently organising a concession for club members as well as a dedicated parking spot for VEC cars inside....

              Club members and Volkswagen enthusiasts are welcome.

              We need an idea of numbers, for people and cars. Please ring Tony on 0417 819 773, or send an email to tony.thor@bigpond.com

                I have been corrected on the parking.
                Torrens Parade Ground will only be used by volunteers and entrants to store trailers.
                Public parking will be in the surrounding streets where the cost will be $1.80 for as long as you like.

                    Whereabouts is the marshalling point Ben?

                    The bureau forecast for Sunday is currently for a shower or two. Depending on how miserable it looks like it'll be, I may not bring the car in, although I'll still come along to check it out.

                    How many VWW members are interested in participating?

                      I'll probably just come for a look. If cars have to be in by 9:30 and out after 3:30 it's certainly a whole day commitment.

                        Car shows usually are an all day commitment .

                          Understand Maris - just it's a balancing act with young kids etc. Half-day is doable but a full day out of the weekend is starting to push the friendship. Plus I wouldn't be entering to win any prizes - mainly support you guys with your event and add another car that's a bit different to your average soccer mum car

                          Understand the challenges with running the event at the location you've chosen isn't conducive to coming along for the morning. There's always plusses and minuses with every location and you're never going to be able to please everybody.

                              The forecast for Sunday is not too bad - 25C - 20% chance of less than 1 mm of rain.
